THE PHILOSOPHY OF CARE

There is an art in knowing how to care fore, and repair your clothing. To prolong the life of every garment, we encourage a gentle and thoughtful approach to care. Wash only when needed, tend to small repairs, and where possible, allow your clothing to refresh naturally in the open air. Meding a seam, hemming a pair of trousers, or resewing a loose button. Small acts of preserve the story of a garment.

Caring for knitwear begins with understanding its natural fibres. Wool, cashmere and delicate knits don’t need frequent washing; often, simply airing them out is enough to refresh them between wears. When a deeper clean is needed, choose a cold hand wash or a gentle wool cycle with a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Handle each piece with care, avoiding rubbing or twisting, and remove excess water gently before laying it flat to dry. These small rituals help maintain the softness, structure and beauty of your knitwear over time.

To preserve the shape and integrity of your knitwear, always dry wool, cashmere and delicate knits flat. After washing, gently press the garment between a clean towel to absorb excess moisture, avoiding any wringing or stretching. Carefully restore its original shape and leave it to dry naturally on a flat surface, away from direct sunlight and artificial heat. This gentle approach helps protect the fibres and maintain the fit, softness and structure of each piece.

Wool, cashmere and delicate knits benefit from a little time to rest between wears, allowing their natural fibres to recover their softness and shape. To keep your knitwear in its best condition, store each piece folded rather than hanging, as the weight of the fabric can gradually stretch the shoulders and alter its silhouette. Choose a cool, dry space and give your garments room to breathe, preserving their texture and shape season after season.

how to repair your garments

Loose threads and snags can occur with everyday wear, particularly in knitwear. Avoid pulling or cutting them, as this may cause further damage. Gently guide the thread back into the garment using a blunt needle, or seek professional assistance if needed.

Small holes are best repaired as soon as they appear to prevent them from becoming larger. Depending on the damage, delicate darning or professional knitwear repair can help restore the garment while preserving its original texture and shape.

Seams and edges can loosen over time with regular wear. If you notice a seam beginning to open or an edge becoming undone, repair it promptly to prevent further damage. For delicate fabrics or intricate knitwear, professional repair can help preserve the garment's structure and finish.
